What doesn't go with eggs?

[Morning Glory]

We are very fond of our eggs on CookingBites - particularly drippy, runny fried eggs or creamy scramble. Personally I think most savoury dishes are only the better for the addition of an egg. Of course there may be exceptions but right now I can't think of one. Can you? We are talking savoury dishes here...

...I just thought that I wouldn't fancy chicken with eggs. Possibly egg fried rice with chicken is OK.

Found it!

I don't like egg drop soup. Looks nasty & reminds me of something that I don't want to talk about!

Oh - I think it looks pretty!

Wispy strands of egg delicately furled in a broth...

Continuing to answer my own question - I don't think eggs really go with shellfish. I'm trying to think of a dish which includes both...

Khow pad gai is chicken fried rice and it normally arrives with a fried egg on top (I prefer to add my own egg on carry out as the restaurants tend to overcook them).

Funnily enough khow pad kai is egg fried rice which doesn't usually arrive with an egg on top.

I tried chilli con carne with a poached egg last year. It didn't seem to work (at least it didn't for me).

I've never tried eggs with mushy peas but it just doesn't sound right.

Oh - I could certainly eat chilli with eggs! It looks great to me.

I have - lovely! The colours are good together too.

I think eggs are a perfect food. Who needs a sauce on a steak when you can top it with a poached egg or an over easy egg. Eggs any time of day. Boiled eggs in a seafood gumbo.

Boiled eggs in a seafood gumbo.

I was trying to think of a seafood/egg combo. Would this be a traditional thing?

 

[ElizabethB]

Boiled eggs added to gumbo goes back to the early days of Acadians in Louisiana. When meat or seafood were in short supply (war years) boiled eggs were added to gumbo for added protein.

Tough one. Roast dinner, shepherds/cottage pie, lamb generally I should think, no?


Eta. A quick Google and I see a Moroccan and an iraqi one-pot-dish of ground lamb/meatballs, tomato and egg.
